|
|
G'day all,
Anyone any suggestions where I can get young creeping raspberry plants? Local garden centre has them but are £2 each and I need 150😰
Also anyone got any experience of these plants? I need them to cover a slope so need low maintance evergreen with interest via flower and berry for butterfly and birds.
Thanks |

Are these like Japanese wineberry? My dad grew those and they are very vigorous - spread like crazy! |

Yes they seem to be the same/related. Good to know they spread like mad as that is exactly what I need for this slope. |

Good point. If I can get away with less I'd be happy to save the money. |

Is it raspberry or bramble your looking for, if its the latter Bramble then your looking for Rubus tricolor for covering a bank and not for the fruit but it can be eaten. That should be fairly cheap to buy from a nursery. i see Rubus Betty ashburner is available from Yellow Furz nursery. |
